Chicago Playgroup
Downtown/Lincoln Park/Lakeview Playgroup getting started! 
If you are a JOH family living in the city and looking for a way to connect with other JOH families for playtime and group opportunities, or to plan group cultural awareness activities for children whose lives began in other countries, read on!
Christie Young has started a playgroup that meets at Church of Our Savior, 530 W. Fullerton (just west of Clark) The Church is conveniently located on the 22 Clark and 36 Broadway stops, and walking distance from the 151 Sheridan and 156 LaSalle and the Brown Line Fullerton stops. They are a great sponsor of an open, non-religious, free playgroup in their newly renovated nursery/playroom. The Playgroup is new and has abundant openings that we'd love to dedicate to JOH families in the city.  The playgroup meets Tuesdays, 2:30 - 4:30pm, Wednesdays, 9:30am - 12, and Thursdays, 2:30 - 4:30pm. The room is large, carpeted, and stocked with books and toys. The church location is secure, warm (in winter) and cool (in summer). Ample parking available just outside the entry. This playgroup has saved many a mom from insanity during the "NOTHING TO DO IN THE AFTERNOON" hours. Little sibs who can nap in strollers/car seats are welcome to come too anerd snooze in a quiet part of the nursery.
